Overview

CVE-2025-71141 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on January 14, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/tilcdc: Fix removal actions in case of failed probe

The drm_kms_helper_poll_fini() and drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() helpers

should only be called when the device has been successfully registered.

Currently, these functions are called unconditionally in tilcdc_fini(),

which causes warnings during probe deferral scenarios.
